Sepaton, which makes high-end backup and recovery platforms for large enterprises, has launched a new network-attached storage-based data-protection package that can handle big data workloads and hybrid cloud deduplication. Based on the company’s newly developed OptiScale architecture, Sepaton’s VirtuoSO also provides enterprise-level grid scalability, multiprotocol support and smart data movement. VirtuoSO specifically addresses the needs of new-generation enterprise data centers—which means managing data growth and new data types and providing support for virtualization, big data workloads, cloud systems and other use cases.
